cleaning.

[certainthings]

so. you clean.

you put things away. you dust. wash. vacuum. whatever it is you do, and/or needs to be done.

and it looks nice. and you say to yourself, 'fuck it. this is nice. I'm going to keep this place tidy."

all right.

so.

how long before it becomes a mess again?

for me? a week or two.

and for those of you with children. I don't mean their messes, (toys and such) - that does doesn't count.

I still have some cleaning to do. I haven't vacuumed yet. And a few things need to be put away and other organized.

but.

this time, I'm going to try for at least three weeks.

I'm OCD, so like, two days is the max I let anything slide before I get all clean-y on it all.

that is amazing. teach me your ways without the ocd part, please.

Sadly OCD plays a large part because it means things rarely get very messy to begin with. I can't even leave dishes in the sink overnight. It can be exhausting, but...oh well.

yeah about a week or two. or less if i'm having a crap time and cbf to keep it up.

for my friends with kids? they'd say about five minutes after food was given to their children, haha.

trying to keep things neat and tidy seems like it should be so simple and yet.

ahahaha.

Try a couple of days. I have two of the most slovenly young adults living at home and I can't get shit clean. It's horrible. I can't even get them to put their dishes in the dishwasher. Ugh. The only room in the house that I can stand to be in is my bedroom.

you should smack them upside the head.

LoL I am totally the same way with not keeping things tidy :x Like I'll clean and clean and gets things put away and then it just explodes... again in a week or two. I seriously NEED to try to keep it clean for once :x

We should make a deal with each other. Like whoever's room becomes horrid again they owe the other person something :p

it should be so easy to keep it tidy and yet.

would a disappointed look be all right? it's about all I can afford. :p

I'm pretty bad for it lately because I'm not home often enough to be irritates by the meas. i go through phases where I have to keep everything clean all the time, and then I just don't care for a while.

sometimes it is hard to care about such things.
